  • An Approach to Improve Medication Adherence by Smart Watches
    956 Digital Healthcare Empowering Europeans R. Cornet et al. (Eds.) © 2015 European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI). This article is published online with Open Access by IOS Press and distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License. doi:10.3233/978-1-61499-512-8-956 An Approach to Improve Medication Adherence by Smart Watches Fabian SAILERa,1, Monika POBIRUCHINa, Martin WIESNERb and Gerrit MEIXNERc a GECKO Institute, Heilbronn University, Germany b Dept. of Medical Informatics, Heilbronn University, Germany c UniTyLab, Heilbronn University, Germany Abstract. Adherence is an important factor for the outcome of medical therapies. Several reminder applications to raise adherence have been developed, e.g., smart phone apps. Literature suggests that such solutions seem to be inefficient. In this paper, we discuss current research in the field of ultra-mobile devices, i.e., smart watches. In addition, we investigate on requirements of a smart watch-based medication reminder system and present an early prototype. Keywords. Smart Watches, Medication Adherence, Self-management Introduction A successful medical therapy depends on a variety of influencing factors, e.g., adverse drug effects. Furthermore, a patient’s medication adherence is one major aspect [1]. Different studies have found that non-adherence is a critical factor for treatment outcome, e.g. [2]. Forgetfulness of patients was identified to be one of the top reasons for low adherence. Non-adherence is an important factor in readmission rates [3]. Consequently, this leads to increased health care costs and less positive health outcomes [4]. According to a recent study [5] many projects assist patients by implementing smart phone medication reminder applications.

  • An Investigation Into the Usefulness of the Smart Watch Interface for University Students
    An Investigation into the Usefulness of the Smart Watch Interface for University Students Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Bachelor of Science (Honours) of Rhodes University Kyle Mills Johnson Grahamstown, South Africa 31 October, 2014 Abstract The smart watch is not new to the area of wearable computing, however only recently it has become more widely available. Studies into the usefulness of the smart watch and the applications utilized, particularly by university students, have not been performed. The aim of this research was to investigate the usefulness of the smart watch, and to ascertain which applications or services university students would find most useful on a smart watch. Requirements were gathered from university students and used to develop two applications which were evaluated to achieve the research goals. The result of which, would determine whether the smart watch could be considered a useful interface to university students. The finished applications were evaluated in a field study, where students volunteered to use the smart watch with the developed applications installed. From the field study it was found that the majority of users found some use in the information they received on the smart watch, even if some would rather not use it on on a regular basis. Users found the interface to be convenient to use in situations where a smart phone was awkward to access. The results demonstrated that the smart watch can be a useful interface when used to retrieve small amounts of information as a complimentary device to a paired smart phone.

  • Blockseminar Gesellschaftliche Aspekte Der Informatik FH
    Blockseminar Gesellschaftliche Aspekte der Informatik FH-Schmalkalden WS 2013/2014 23.01.2014 Dozent: Dipl.-Phys. Jo Tzschenscher Inhaltsverzeichnis Elektronische Gesundheitskarte Thomas Schmidt <[email protected]> Adrian Sode <[email protected]> Die Entwicklung der elektronischen Gesundheitskarte geht nun schon seit Jahren schleppend voran. Das Projekt war angestossen worden, um doppelte Diagnosen und doppelte Medikation beim Patienten zu verhindern, um somit Kosten im Gesundheitswesen zu sparen, aber das scheinen nicht alle beteiligten Projektparteien als einen Mehrwert zu sehen, fuer den sich deren rasche Einfuehrung lohnen wuerde. Eigentlich sollte man denken, dass die Technologie, um eine solche Karte sinnvoll einzusetzen, nicht wesentlich unterschiedlich von der einer Kreditkarte sein sollte. Stellen Sie das Projekt mit seinen unterschiedlichen Phasen und die Nebenwirkungen auf alle daran Beteiligten vor, stellt es doch eine Methode dar, den Buerger in Bezug auf seine individuellen medizinischen Beduerfnisse und Gebrechen glaeserner zu machen. Bitcoin Fabian Witt <[email protected]> Steven Brandt <[email protected]> Mit Bitcoin steht nun eine virtuelle Internet-Waehrung zur Verfuegung, die Nutzer untereinander ueber ein kryptographisches Protokoll austauschen koennen, ohne dass eine zentrale Regulierungsstelle oder Notenbank darueber Kontrolle haette. Das schuert zum einen den Verdacht, dass dadurch auch Schwarzgeld in Umlauf geraten und durch undurchsichtige Transaktionen hindurch gewaschen werden koennte, zum anderen aber auch, dass der Gegenwert in einer nationalen Waehrung einer nichtkontrollierbaren Beliebigkeit unterliegt, und zu einer Blase aehnlich der Dot.com-Blase vor gut 10 Jahren fuehren koennte. Legen Sie die Funktionsweise von Bitcoin dar, wie und wo sich diese Waehrung verbreitet, und wo die Vor- und Nachteile dieser Waehrung liegen.

However, the overall computing power of these devices like tablets or smartphones that rely on Wi-Fi con- devices is still limited regarding usage scenarios like photo- realistic gaming, enabling an immersive virtual reality experience nections. or real-time processing and visualization of big data. To overcome In this paper, we present a novel lightweight framework these limitations application streaming solutions are constantly for in-home streaming of interactive applications to small gaining focus. The idea is to transfer the graphics output of devices, utilizing the latest developments in wireless computer an application running on a server or even a cluster to a networking standards (IEEE 802.11ac [1]) for mobile devices. mobile device, conveying the impression that the application is running locally. User inputs on the mobile client side are Further, we use a distributed rendering architecture [2] in processed and sent back to the server. The main criteria for combination with a high-quality, hardware-accelerated decom- successful application streaming are low latency, since users pression scheme utilizing the capabilities of modern handheld want to interact with the scene in near real-time, as well devices, resulting in much higher image quality and half the as high image quality.
